Ethel I. Baker Elementary School sponsored a “Keeping Our Students Safe” night for the Fruitridge community on January 19. Principal Olga Arellano and Sacramento County Sheriff Department deputies from the National Latino Peace Officers Association made presentations to the students regarding gang awareness and prevention. More than 200 students and parents attended. Officers presented information on staying safe, talked individually with the parents and children and gave away “sticker badges” and whistles, which the children loved. They also raffled off a new bicycle, won by a lucky student.
